Hi
I'm going to purchase a new PC for use as a file server or CPU server
machine for Plan 9.
Would you please make us a compatibel hardware list for the new release,
particularly for SCSI and Video cards?
Thanks in advance.
Kenji

There is no hardware list as yet, but trawling through the 9fans archives
should give an idea of what we've tried.
The ATI Mach64 cards are the best supported, there's even some acceleration used.
Currently, only the aging Mylex (was Buslogic) PCI and EISA Multimaster SCSI cards
and the Symbios (was NCR, now LsiLogic) 53C8XX series SCSI chips have drivers. The
Symbios chips can be found on many OEM cards (sorry, I don't have a list) and on
many motherboards (but sadly not as many as the Adaptec chips). Contact your local
LsiLogic rep. to find where you can buy the cards they make themselves, they're very
reasonably priced.
